Thunderbird !!

[#1]

I have just been forcibly downgraded from near-perfect Thunderbird 68 to rubbish Thunderbird 78.

I don't think it's any fault of Plusnet but I can't Get Messages now; I get "Connection to server POP3.SPAMARREST.COM was reset."

In 68 I was prompted  for the Spam Arrest passcode and then my new emails appeared in my InBox via Spam Arrest.

There is now no Help for Thunderbird, Help in Mozilla so I am stuck !

'Reset' - has anyone else had a similar problem ?

68 to 78 is an upgrade, not downgrade. If you need help for this, you need to post in the correct board at Mozilla, it is very unlikely anyone on here can help - unless one of the email 'Superusers' has any idea.

On the very odd occasion I've needed help with TB, I have found their forum very helpful.

Well I've been a Thunderbird User for  more than 10 years. Currently using version 78.6.1 with no problems.

I've not heard of or used Spamarrest, but checking the web a few minutes ago it does not seem to have good support reports recently.   Further checking indicates that the spamarrest.com   service has been down most of yesterday / today.

Yes . Have a good look around the Thunderbird forum.
I'm currently trying to sort a random crash when reading newsgroups (probably a corrupt newsgroup file).

I have used Thunderbird for decades and the built-in Junk processor works fine.
